Exploring Retirement Planning Beyond Finances: An Interview with Ryan Donovan, Co-Founder of RetireMint

Retirement planning is not just about finances, but also about lifestyle factors that can greatly impact a retiree’s quality of life. Ryan Donovan, the co-founder and CEO of RetireMint, recognized this gap in retirement planning and created a platform to address it.

RetireMint is a free retirement planning platform that helps retirees find resources and professional help beyond just financial advice. Users can take a retirement assessment covering various aspects of retired life, from estates to volunteering, and access content on those topics. Additionally, there is a retirement directory where professionals in various retirement-related services can be listed and reviewed by users.

One of the key areas that RetireMint focuses on is the psychological shift in retirement. Many retirees struggle with questions of identity and purpose once they have all the free time in the world. By providing tools and resources to help retirees navigate this transition, RetireMint aims to improve the overall retirement experience.

Financial advisors can also benefit from using RetireMint as a free resource to provide their clients with additional support and guidance in areas beyond finances. By offering tools like assessments and access to a network of retirement professionals, advisors can help their clients plan for a more fulfilling retirement.

In a world where retirement planning goes beyond just saving money, platforms like RetireMint are becoming increasingly valuable in helping retirees navigate the complexities of post-work life. With a focus on holistic retirement planning, RetireMint is changing the way we think about preparing for life after work.
